An Efficient, Exact Algorithm for Solving Tree-Structured Graphical Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a new algorithm for computing a Nash equilibrium in graphical games, a compact representation for multi-agent systems that we introduced in previous work. The algorithm is the first to compute equilibria both efficiently and exactly for a non-trivial class of graphical games.

A Continuation Method for Nash Equilibria in Structured Games
Structured game representations have recently attracted interest as models for multiagent artificial intelligence scenarios, with rational behavior most commonly characterized by Nash equilibria. This paper presents efficient, exact algorithms for computing Nash equilibria in structured game representations, including both graphical games and multi-agent influence diagrams (MAIDs). The algorith...
متن کاملFPTAS for Mixed-Strategy Nash Equilibria in Tree Graphical Games and Their Generalizations
We provide the first fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for computing an approximate mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium in tree-structured graphical multi-hypermatrix games (GMhGs). GMhGs are generalizations of normal-form games, graphical games, graphical polymatrix games, and hypergraphical games. Computing an exact mixed-strategy Nash equilibria in graphical polymatrix games is ...

متن کاملOPTIMIZATION OF TREE-STRUCTURED GAS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK USING ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION: A CASE STUDY
An Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed for optimal tree-structured natural gas distribution network. Design of pipelines, facilities, and equipment systems are necessary tasks to configure an optimal natural gas network. A mixed integer programming model is formulated to minimize the total cost in the network. The aim is to optimize pipe diameter sizes so that the location-alloc...
متن کاملComputing Approximate Equilibria in Graphical Games on Arbitrary Graphs
We present PureProp: a new constraint satisfaction algorithm for computing pure-strategy approximate Nash equilibria in complete information games. While this seems quite limited in applicability, we show how PureProp unifies existing algorithms for 1) solving a class of complete information graphical games with arbitrary graph structure for approximate Nash equilibria (Kearns et al., 2001; Ort...
